Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 pounds kale (about 4 bunches), tough stems and center ribs cut off and discarded
10 bacon slices (1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Stack a few kale leaves and roll lengthwise into a cigar shape. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips with a sharp knife. Repeat with remaining leaves.
  • Cook bacon in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons fat from pot, then cook garlic in remaining fat over moderately low heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add kale (pot will be full) and cook, turning with tongs, until wilted and bright green, about 1 minute. Add water and simmer, partially covered, until just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Toss with bacon and salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover kale. I had some kale that was starting to wilt and I didn't want to waste it. This recipe was the perfect solution. The kale was cooked perfectly and the bacon and garlic added a delicious flavor.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The kale was too tough and the bacon was too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The kale was a bit tough and the bacon was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This kale recipe with garlic and bacon is a fantastic way to enjoy this leafy green. The bacon adds a delightful smokiness and saltiness, while the garlic provides a nice pungent flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and the results were amazing. My
